This document is Tyler William Neely's dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Arizona. It examines the formation, dynamics, and decay of quantized vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates, with the goal of exploring elements of quantum turbulence. The dissertation presents Neely's experimental setup for producing Bose-Einstein condensates and quantized vortices. It provides background on classical and quantum turbulence. It then details two experimental studies: the first on generating and observing the dynamics of quantized vortex dipoles, and the second on inducing quantum turbulence through stirring of a BEC and observing its decay.
